A/N: Sorry for the late upload! And thank you for the feedback! Hope this chapter satisfies! :) Enjoy!
Maura laid back down when the brunette was out of sight. She was slightly excited yet slightly nervous about Jane staying with her. It was about half and hour after Jane left Maura heard someone walking through the door. Her heart jumped thinking it was Jane but then saw a man in a suit standing at the door. He was accompanied by a police officer standing behind him.
"Maura Isles?" The man in the suit stepped forward into the room with the officer following him. Maura nervously shifted in her bed, she wanted Jane to come back. She didn't want to be alone.
"Y-yes?" Maura answered hesitantly.
"I'm Detective Cavanaugh and this is Officer Crowe, we know this is a bad time but we'd like to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible." The man said as he approached Maura's bed. Maura's heart began to pound. "We're glad to see you're awake, now. We've been waiting for you to wake up." Cavanaugh walked around to the chair Jane was sitting on and took a seat. He looked at Maura sympathetically when Maura began to look more nervous than she did before. "We're just here to see what happened to you." He said softly.
"I-isn't it obvious? I was assaulted." Maura said seriously but hesitantly. "I have damage to my nasal and my right zygomatic arch, and a few contusions and scrapes but I'll be fine." Maura didn't like confrontation.
Detective Cavanaugh and Officer Crowe were impressed by Maura's use of vocabulary. "Well, Ms. Isles, there must be damage other places." Cavanaugh said as he raised his eyebrows suspicion. Maura bit her lip. She knew he was talking about the fact that she was raped.
"You are correct." Maura said flatly. She gulped hard.
"Do you know who did this to you?" Officer Crowe asked. Maura clenched her jaw. She couldn't lie.
"Yes." Cavanaugh's eyebrows rose again at Maura's answer.
"Who was it?" Cavanaugh asked. Maura stared at the end of her bed for a few moments.
"Some students." Maura said, avoiding eye contact with the two men.
"Do you know their names?" Cavanaugh asked as Crowe wrote down what Maura was saying. Maura nodded slightly. Cavanaugh leaned forward to meet Maura's gaze but Maura looked away again. "We just want to help." Cavanaugh said softly. "We can't do that if you don't let us." Maura began to tear. She hated remembering what happened to her and she hated being questioned. Cavanaugh put a hand on Maura's shoulder but she pulled away.
"Don't touch me." Maura said quietly as she look down in his direction. Cavanaugh pulled his hand back in surrender.
"Sorry, just trying to help." Cavanaugh said softly. Maura didn't respond. "Could you please just tell us what happened?" Cavanaugh asked with sympathy. Maura thought for a moment before answering.
"They were waiting for me." Maura said as she phased out. "After school, I usually see them driving passed me. Giving me ugly looks or laughing at me because they threw something at me."
"Who? Who was waiting for you? Who laughs at you?" Cavanaugh asked. Maura closed her eyes.
"Kate, Debbie and Emily." Maura opened her eyes. "They don't like me much. Nobody does." Maura looked at the cops with a sad look in her eyes. "Anyway, I was walking home after detention – "
"Detention? For what?" Cavanaugh asked.
"I let someone copy off my paper yesterday. So I paid for it today." After Cavanaugh nodded, she continued. "After detention, I was walking home and they were there, waiting for me. They abused me until I passed out."
"Did they abuse you in a sexual way?" Cavnaugh asked, knowing he had to. Maura let a tear slip from her eye. Cavanaugh took that as a yes. "Okay, we're going to run a rape kit but we need your consent." Cavanaugh said. Maura began to look scared. The last thing she wanted was to be touched on her vagina or any part of her body. "We'll try to make it fast as possible. We just need DNA and – "
"I know what you need." Maura said, cutting Cavanaugh off.
"I know it's difficult for you but –"
"Have you ever been beaten to the point where your body doesn't even have the strength to fight back and then be sexually assaulted?!" Maura said angrily. Cavanaugh huffed.
"No, ma'am I haven't." Cavanaugh said.
"Then you have no idea how difficult for it is for me to let anybody touch me in my vaginal area, or touch me at all!" Maura said seriously as she let another tear roll down her face. The only person who really touched Maura was Jane, but even she wouldn't let Jane go as far as swabbing her body.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but if you want justice for what they did to you you'd let us help you." Cavanaugh said sympathetically. "Was it Kate, Emily or Debbie the one who raped you?" Maura shook her head. "So it was someone else?" Maura nodded as her lip began to quiver. At that moment, Jane walked through the door.
"Hey, Maura I – oh." Jane stopped in the door way. "Hi." She said with a slightly angry tone. She saw Maura was about to cry and that made her angry.
"Hi." Crowe asked. "You the girl that brought Ms. Isles in?" Jane nodded. "What's your name, kid?"
"Jane Rizzoli."
"Well, Jane, why didn't you stick around after you dropped Maura off?" Crowe said curiously.
"I did for a while but I had hockey practice." Jane said as she ran her fingers through her wet hair. She slowly walked over to Maura and settled her bag on the ground next to her. The two men nodded.
"We'd like to talk to you after we're done." Cavanaugh said.
"I don't know anything. I just found her." Jane said truthfully. Crowe looked suspiciously at Jane.
"Really? Isn't kind of a coincidence that school ended about an hour and a half before you brought her in?" Crowe asked as he walked closer to Jane.
"I said I had hockey practice. It's at the school." Jane said defensively. Crowe stopped a few feet away from her.
"So how did you find Maura? According to your statement when you brought her in, she wasn't near the school when you found her. And from what you're telling me now, your hockey practice is at the school." Crowe asked. Jane squinted her eyes. She knew what he was implying.
"Look, I waited for her after school, okay?" Jane said as she crossed her arms. The men raised their eyebrows.
"Why?" Cavanaugh said as he stood up. Maura saw where this was escalating.
"Jane did nothing wrong, Detective. She was just being a good friend." Maura said as she looked up at Jane. Jane had her eyes locked on the two cops standing in front of her.
"So you have nothing to hide then?" Crowe asked.
"Nope."
"So why are you getting so defensive about this?" Crowe asked. Jane raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not. I'm just saying I don't know anything. I found her and I brought her in." Jane replied. Crowe stepped closer to her.
"Which begs the same question, why were you waiting for her?" Cavanaugh said.
"So I could take her home." Jane answered. "I thought we were gonna do this later." Jane added.
"We were," Cavanaugh began. "Until you admitted to waiting for Maura." Crowe finished.
"That's not a crime!" Jane said shockingly. She couldn't believe how they were turning this around on her.
"Why were you going to take her home?" Cavanaugh asked.
"Because she lives near me."
"I thought you said you had hockey practice." Crowe said.
"I do – I did. Look, I just wanted to be a good friend and take her home. She walks home and since I have a car I thought I might as well take her home." Jane replied angrily. Crowe was about to say something until Maura's voice cut off his train of thought.
"Jane wasn't the one who raped me!" Maura screamed. She hated seeing them question Jane like that. They all turned to Maura in shock of her sudden outburst. Jane's face shifted into a horrified and angry look.
"You were raped?" Jane said quietly through her teeth, her voice huskier than usual. You could tell that Jane was pissed. Maura let out a gulp.
"I-I thought you knew. I thought they would've informed you –" Maura said hesitantly.
"They didn't tell me shit since I'm not 'family'!" Jane used air quotation marks. Jane turned fully to Maura. "Who did this to you?" Jane whispered as she leaned forward.
"Uh, we're not done with –" Crowe was cut off by Jane.
"I don't care!" Jane yelled as she looked at the cops. She breathed out hard. Her heart was beating so hard in her chest as she began to tear. She didn't know Maura was raped, she just thought she was badly beaten. She turned back to Maura. "What the hell happened to you?" Jane asked softly.
"She was beaten and then raped." Cavanaugh said. "Where were you when all of this happened?" He added when Jane didn't reply back.
"I told you, I was at the school waiting for her." Jane said as she turned her eyes to the cops.
"Can anybody confirm that?" Crowe asked.
"My hockey coach and my teammates." Jane said angrily. "And my best friend Riley. I was with them at the field after school before I went to the parking lot."
"Why'd you go to the parking lot?" Cavanaugh asked suspiciously.
"So I could pick Maura up." Jane took a moment before she spoke again. "But then I saw Kate and she said that Maura already went home so I went back to the field."
"Kate, huh?" Cavanaugh said as he remembered Maura's story. "What's your relationship with Kate?" Jane's face twitched as she raised an eyebrow in disgust.
"She's my ex girlfriend." Jane admitted, shocking Maura.
"She's your what?" Maura asked softly in disbelief. Jane avoided eye contact with Maura. Not because she knew that Kate is the one who did this but she thought that Maura wouldn't want to be her friend because of the fact that she wasn't straight.
"Girlfriend?" Cavanaugh raised an eye brow. Someone as attractive as Jane he wouldn't have thought that she was a lesbian.
"Ex." Jane said sternly. "I ended it a few months ago." Maura's heart broke at Jane's words. She couldn't believe that someone so sweet and kind could be in an intimate relationship with someone so cold hearted and evil.
"So you're a lesbian?"
"Not that it's any of your business or even relevant, I'm bisexual. Get it straight." Jane slightly smirked at her pun. Cavanaugh nodded before getting back on track.
"So what made you go back to the parking lot? I mean you didn't find Maura at the field." Cavanaugh asked curiously.
"After I went back to the field I had to pee, so I ran into Ms. Johanson when I went to the bathroom. We talked about math stuff for a few minutes and then I asked her why she was still at the school and then she said that two of her students had detention." Jane said simply. "I didn't know Maura was one of them until she began telling me that one of the students that had detention always does her homework, always comes to class on time, always the first to finish her work –"
"And that's how you knew it was Maura?" Crowe asked sarcastically. Jane raised an eye brow in anger.
"No." Jane said flatly. "I knew it was Maura when she told me that she was a loner." Maura blushed in embarrassment. "There's nothing wrong with that." Jane added when she saw Maura looking embarrassed. "I'd rather be a loner than have a bunch of fake friends." Jane said with a slight smile. Jane and Maura shared a loving look before Jane started talking to the policemen again. "So, that's when I knew Kate was lying to me, and that's when I went back to the parking lot to pick Maura up." Jane's eyes started to water even more. "I didn't know I was going to find her on the side of the road beaten up. I don't know what happened to her. Hell, I hardly know her."
"So why did you want to take her home?" Crowe asked.
"Because I wanted to." Jane said as she held back her tears. "I seen the way some people treat her and I hear the way they laugh at her and it breaks my heart."
"Why don't you do something about it if it breaks your heart so badly?" Crowe asked sarcastically. He thought Jane was bullshitting at her last part. Jane smirked slightly.
"I plan to." Jane whispered only loud enough for Maura to hear. Maura looked up at Jane who was still staring at the two men.
"Excuse me?" Cavanaugh said, obviously not hearing Jane.
"I said I just did. You guys now know that she's a victim of bullying and now a victim of rape, do something about it." Jane said sternly. Maura smiled slightly at the brunette who was standing up for her. "Teachers don't do anything. If they did, she wouldn't be in here." Jane walked closer to the men. "Get these bastards who did this and end this bullying shit." Jane said an angry tone. "Please." Jane added with a different more softer tone of voice.
"We plan to." Cavanaugh said with a slight smirk. "But we need to run a rape kit to see if the man who raped Maura left DNA." Jane closed her eyes, trying to get rid of the statement Cavanaugh just said out of her mind.
"You won't find sperm." Maura said softly.
"So he wore a condom?" Cavanaugh asked.
"No. She did not wear a condom." Maura said as she looked down at her hands. Everyone in the room was silent as their hearts broke. Jane wanted to kill anybody who was apart of this.
"So will you let us run the rape kit?" Cavanaugh asked sympathetically. Maura had a scared look in her eyes as she looked at Jane.
"Please." Jane said softly to Maura as a tear roll down her face. "Help them help you." Maura took a moment before she nodded and allowed them run a rape kit on her.
